Thanks!  Unfortunately, when I try it, I get (in the log):

  Fatal server error:
  ppcPciInit: /dev/kmem

This happens regardless of whether I try starting X as root or as a
plain user.  /dev/kmem exists.  ktruss of XFree86 shows it tries to
open /dev/kmem read/write, but the open returns w/ errno 1, "Operation
not permitted".  This is on NetBSD 1.5 release, PowerBook G3 Lombard.
